Suganath, > mpt3sas: SGL to PRP Translation for I/Os to NVMe devices
I'm still confused about this patch. - I don't understand why you go through all these hoops to decide whether to use PRPs or IEEE scatterlists. If the firmware translation is slow, why even bother with the SG format in the first place? Set the max I/O size to match MDTS and you're done. - What's the benefit of using SG for regular I/O commands? - If the unmap translation in firmware is slow, why don't you translate WRITE SAME/w UNMAP set to DSM DEALLOCATE without requiring applications to do encapsulated passthrough? Also make sure you attribute your patches correctly (From: root <[email protected]>). And you don't need that long CC: list. Just send the patch series to [email protected]. Thanks! -- Martin K.
